[name_m]Just[/name_m] like the title suggests, I have the hardest time finding boy names! I’m not expecting or anything, only collecting names, but I feel like I second guess every name after a few months. I’d appreciate feedback on these names I have and suggestions are more than welcome (pls, I beg of you).
I prefer first names that are unfamiliar and rare (although there is some more common names in my list), but that age well (that’s a huge deciding factor!); I’m more lenient with middle names.
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] -rugged and cool
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]- literary and funky
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] - classic, clunky and charming
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] - soft and gentle but boyish
[name_m]Berlin[/name_m] -quirky and unexpected
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] - distinctive, on trend and cool
[name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - nice mix of classic, flair and international vibes
[name_m]Eliseo[/name_m] -i find the flow slightly awkward
[name_m]Emrys[/name_m] -mystical and gentle
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Sirius[/name_m] - bold and cool, I like it
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] Eddard -love [name_m]Felix[/name_m], not a fan of Eddard. [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Everhard[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Everard[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Edwin[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Edwardo[/name_m]
[name_m]Leander[/name_m] -a favourite! Such a great flow and meaning
[name_m]Levon[/name_m] -never heard it but it’s intriguing
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] - nice though popular
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] - rugged and strong
[name_m]Maxen[/name_m] - cool, familiar but distinctive
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] -strong but sweet
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] -brilliant
Nelso [name_m]Bear[/name_m] - brilliant and cool!
[name_m]Nicandro[/name_m] -slightly awkward but i kind of like it
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Morrison[/name_m]*-not wild on this if I’m honest
Regulus- quite nice
[name_m]Rocco[/name_m] - funky and cool
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] -love it!!
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m]- Strong, lots of possibilities for nicknames ([name_m]Al[/name_m], [name_m]Ric[/name_m], [name_u]Ricky[/name_u])
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m]- Not my favorite name on your list, but again, strong
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]- I like this name, but the recent commentary on To Kill A Mockingbird has kind of spoiled it for me (basically, [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] was a racist)
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name….[name_m]Augie[/name_m] is a super cute nn for it.
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]- I tend to think of [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] as a surname, so it’s unexpected and refreshing as a first name
[name_m]Berlin[/name_m]- Another unexpected name, better as a middle
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m]- Trendy, kind of gothic/fantasy
[name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]- [name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_m]Elio[/name_m], it’s romantic and unique. I like it a lot.
[name_m]Eliseo[/name_m]- Prefer [name_m]Elio[/name_m] to [name_m]Eliseo[/name_m]
[name_m]Emrys[/name_m]- Gives me the same vibes as [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Sirius[/name_m]- Gives me the same vibes as [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] and [name_m]Emrys[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] Eddard- I don’t love [name_m]Felix[/name_m], but I’m very into Eddard as an alternative to [name_m]Edward[/name_m]/[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] (and a nod to Game of Thrones)
[name_m]Leander[/name_m]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] this as a better version of [name_m]Leonard[/name_m] (which I hate haha)
[name_m]Levon[/name_m]- Wondering how this is pronounced. I like it as [name_m]LEV[/name_m]-uhn, but I imagine it’s actual more like [name_m]Le[/name_m]-[name_m]VON[/name_m].
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]- Classic. [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name.
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]- very Latin/[name_m]Roman[/name_m]/ancient
[name_m]Maxen[/name_m]- personally I prefer the spelling [name_m]Maxon[/name_m], but overall I really love this name
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]- I prefer [name_m]Milo[/name_m] to [name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Milo[/name_m]. I feel like it’s growing in popularity, but that’s not always a bad thing. [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is on my shortlist as a first. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it as a middle too.
[name_m]Nelson[/name_m] [name_m]Bear[/name_m]- Not a fan of either name
[name_m]Nicandro[/name_m]- Not a huge fan of this one…it feels made up to me
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Morrison[/name_m]- This one is kind of boring compared to the others on your list
Regulus- Gives me the same vibes ass [name_m]Nicandro[/name_m]
[name_m]Rocco[/name_m]- Take it or leave it
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]- Very interesting……I thin I like [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] better for a girl though.
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Morrison[/name_m] is a name I was planning on taking off, I just needed that confirmation lol. I love your suggestions of:
[name_m]Killian[/name_m]
[name_m]Lorcan[/name_m]
[name_u]Mars[/name_u]
[name_m]Leonidas[/name_m]
[name_m]Remus[/name_m]
[name_m]Olivier[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and [name_m]Winston[/name_m]!
Thank you @dream.create, I’m glad there’s someone else out there that struggles just as me lol. I love:
Emeric
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u]
[name_m]Amias[/name_m]
[name_m]Boaz[/name_m] looks interesting but I don’t know how you would pronounce it?
Thank you @stevielynne! Ugh, yeah [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] kind of tainted the name for me! It’s like [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] Lestrange all over again. I love the look and sound of the names, but they will always have those characters attached to the name. I’m also glad you got the Call Me By Your Name and Game of Thrones reference! I love:
[name_m]Remus[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucien[/name_m]
[name_m]Salinger[/name_m] is a name I’ve never thought of, but you’re making me reconsider lol
Thank you @adelina_sophia! That’s so funny how we have the same name combo, just reversed haha. [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m] is a good combo! I love:
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] (a low key guilty pleasure)
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] (I’m starting to warm up to this name)
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Isidore[/name_m] is interesting
[name_m]Amos[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] - handsome, good nickname option ([name_m]Ric[/name_m]), and definitely ages well.
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] - quirky, bit mystical, can picture it on an older man and a little boy but I struggle to picture a teenage boy with it!
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - literary, intriguing, cute on a little boy and clever on an older man
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] - lots of cute nickname options, handsome but I do prefer the simpler [name_u]August[/name_u] (which has similar nickname options)
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] - handsome, rugged, charming and a little Western
[name_m]Berlin[/name_m] - quirky and hipster-ish, but not really my style
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] - handsome and magical, I really like this. I’ll also suggest [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]!
[name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - If this is a first and a middle, I think it flows really well and it’s the right blend of unusual and classic.
[name_m]Eliseo[/name_m] - this feels made up to me, sorry!
[name_m]Emrys[/name_m] - interesting and fresh, I also like this for a girl!
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Sirius[/name_m] - I love this! Mysterious, magical, and intriguing.
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] Eddard - [name_m]Felix[/name_m] is handsome and refreshing, and very sweet; [name_m]Fox[/name_m] is a cute nickname. Eddard is dated to me.
[name_m]Leander[/name_m] - can’t think of anything but coriander for some reason
[name_m]Levon[/name_m] - hmm… this is new for me! I much prefer [name_m]Levi[/name_m], I think it’s fresher.
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] - classic and lovely, but I do prefer the simpler [name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] - mystical and interesting
[name_m]Maxen[/name_m] - it’s alright, but I feel like it’s just an elaborate version of [name_u]Max[/name_u]…
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] - Sweet, and seems more like a name than [name_m]Milo[/name_m], which is more cutesy
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] - [name_m]Milo[/name_m] is cute and sweet, but I don’t think it ages that well. [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is very handsome.
[name_m]Nelson[/name_m] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] - I can’t imagine [name_m]Nelson[/name_m] as a little boy, but I think it’s quirky. [name_m]Bear[/name_m] is interesting.
[name_m]Nicandro[/name_m] - I’m not a fan, I think it sounds made up, sorry!
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Morrison[/name_m] - [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is lovely, but has been very trendy recently. [name_m]Morrison[/name_m] seems dated to me.
Regulus - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this, sounds so handsome and mystical and reminds me of [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]
[name_m]Rocco[/name_m] - handsome, rugged and adorable
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] - magical and fun! [name_m]Stellan[/name_m] is so handsome
Thank you @tileishamaree for your thoughts! I’ve since removed: Emerys, [name_m]Eliseo[/name_m] (I liked [name_m]Elio[/name_m] better), [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Morrison[/name_m], [name_m]Nelson[/name_m] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] and Regulus (congrats on getting the HP reference lol).
